Fresh off the 2024 International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) in Tromso, Norway, the ISSW returns to Whistler, BC, Canada in 2026.
The 5 Day event will take place at the Whistler Conference Center including a field day for professionals and a public workshop day on the Wednesday. Opportunities to host or participate in workshops following the conference on October 3rd will also be available.
With the conference being held in late September, attendees will also be able to take advantage of both Whistler and Blackcomb mountains, which will be open for sightseeing, hiking and mountain biking in Whistler’s world-renowned mountain bike park.
Evenings will be full of a variety of social events and of course the final banquet! We look forward to hosting you all in Whistler for ISSW 2026.
